Thanks for the information, some helpful points there. Will also take alook through his flickr album should give some idea what he shoots at. I mainly shoot in RAW now so should help in post processing, its one of the problems I've had before getting the white balance/colour correctness. The...

I've used the odd 3rd party battery, mainly due to the cost of canon orignial batteries. The ones to avoid are the dirt chip chinese copies found on ebay. If you buy a decent 3rd party battery compnay you will get just as good quality. They don't cost too much to produce, just oem batteries...

Hi All, Just wondering whether people can give me some pointers for shooting volleyball which will be indoor. I know sports hall lighting is not always the best, how is best to counteract this as I will probably need to use a fast shutter speed to catch the action. Just wondering whether...

Will download the quickstart guide and definatly take a look over the other resources. I have started to use lightroom but probably dont use it anywhere near as much as what I can. Looking forward to learning more about using the program now.

Thanks for this, I was contemplating asking where is best to get information, tutorials etc for lightroom as only recently got a copy and need to learn how to use it properly and sort my photos out.

These days have to be careful on ebay with a lot of stuff, I've recently bought a 2nd hand lens off Ebay but I only look for ones which are close enough to go pick up and see the lens before I hand any money over. I would prefer to buy 2nd hand items off a forum like this than ebay, but ebay...

Just out of intrest is there any way to find out if a lens is a grey import?? Have also been on the look out for one of these lens think I may just buy one brand new with the price there selling for.

Im thinking of getting one of these mainly due to the low price if its no good then I havent really ost anything for the prices there selling them off at

Im fairly new to photography and I pick up ideas from all over, magazines, websites, films alsorts really. I dont want to get focused too much on anyone thing so I keep getting plenty of different ideas from all over.

I have the 550D and for the price it seems a very capable camera, if you get the 550d or 600d you can then buy and extra lens to your exact requirement. Both are excellent cameras, with there not much been different except the swivel screen on the 600d, Hope you find the right camera,

They are both for digital signals so work the same, the main difference is that the HDMI will carry the sound as well, so dont spend a fortune on cables as the cheapest one is just as good as the £50.00 cable
